Jelly Surprise Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins

These easy yet delicious muffins are a family favorite. With little trouble, you can impress guests with jam-filled muffins!

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• strawberry or raspberry jam - approximately 2 tablespoons

Topping:

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, egg, and milk.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until well blended.

Insert paper muffin liners into 10-12 muffin tins (recipe says 10; I squeezed 12 out of it).

Fill each muffin tin halfway with batter.

Put a half teaspoon of jam in the middle of each muffin-to-be.

Put a few tablespoons of the remaining batter on top of the jam in each muffin cup.

Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Dip the tops of the baked muffins first in melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
